MediaFLO

MediaFLO is a Qualcomm suite of products that makes use of FLO, forward link only, technology used for mobile TV broadcasts. Some details of the specs capabilities include QVGA 30 frame-per-second quality, according to Qualcomm. The standard is receiving a lot of pushback in Europe which favors its homegrown DVB-H spec. Some have compared the two technologies to other competing technologies like CDMA and GSM. While some criticize FLO for not having interoperable partners, Qualcomm says it plans on releasing those partners in short order. Also, much of the FLO technology was invented in Europe so the talk of Europe vs. American technology is a little off the mark.
